📌 About Our Group Tier Scaling:

• European private charters are calculated per vehicle — private departures start from just 2 guests (never joined by strangers);

• As your party size grows (e.g. 4 or 6-7 family members), fixed vehicle and guide costs are shared, significantly reducing the per-person start price!
